Insights into infant brain development: study shows how sound duration shapes auditory perception SciReports brain development childhealth auditory perception
By Shanet Susan AlexJun 27 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature.
According to neurophysiological studies, neurons in the primary and closely associated auditory areas have complicated spectro-temporal receptive fields that participate in auditory characteristics encoding over various timescales. Study participants were enrolled as a part of a larger longitudinal investigation that determined the significance of child-directed speech in speech development.
The researchers selected four- and nine-month-old infants because these age groups demonstrate significant turning points in the evolution of ERP morphology. Equally probable long and short sounds were randomly delivered to infants. Subjects were presented with four kinds of sound varying in sound quality and duration .
More focal distribution among primary and secondary auditory areas was visible from the source maps in nine compared to four-month-old subjects.
